The Arizona utility will add
500k advanced meters and network
coverage for its Gridstream AMI platform.
ATLANTA, Oct. 25,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) and
Arizona Public Service (APS) have signed an agreement for
additional advanced metering infrastructure enabling a wide range
of smart grid applications. The contract extends the original AMI
agreement from 2015 and includes installation of 500,000 advanced
meters over the next seven years.
APS began deploying Landis+Gyr's Gridstream® AMI
infrastructure in 2016 and has used the network to support advanced
metering and distribution automation technology across its service
territory. Based in Phoenix, APS
is Arizona's largest electric
utility and provides electric service to 1.3 million homes and
businesses in 11 of the state's 15 counties.
"APS has been a leader in promoting clean, reliable energy
generation and delivery over the past decade and we rely on smart
grid infrastructure to maintain reliability and enhance customer
engagement," said Scott
Bordenkircher, Director of Meter Technology Operations at
APS. "As we look forward to new opportunities for distributed
energy resources and growth in electric transportation, the data
and control provided by intelligent grid systems play a critical
role in the planning, management and maintenance of our power
grid."
The Gridstream network connects utilities with data from
critical points across the distribution system, and interfaces with
existing utility systems and applications to manage billing,
operations, engineering, and customer service more effectively. The
network enables communications with meters, sensors, and switches
to provide interval load and voltage data, and enable net metering,
outage management and remote service connection capabilities.
"This new agreement provides the opportunity for APS to update
critical infrastructure throughout its service territory, providing
additional opportunities to leverage energy data to build on their
groundbreaking clean energy initiatives," said Jay Lasseter, Vice President of Industry &
Growth at Landis+Gyr. "We look forward to supporting this effort
and assisting with the clean energy transition."
